So I'm taking it that after Secret Wars it wasn't so much a reboot as a recreation with a few additions (new characters that Marvel wanted to add in from other universes.) Characters that were dead are still dead. So it's really not like I though it would be, it wasn't really the end of Earth 616 more like...the universe had a hiccup, it ended for a moment but came back just slightly changed?

So confusing in a way. But if I ever chose to get back on board (aside from UXM will I think I will try out) it wouldn't be like a whole new reality.

So I'm in my local Trade Smart today and come across this:

OMG, like someone actually got the Giant Man wave in, AWESOME!!! Only a couple of those figures are from the Red Skull wave, so I start going through it. I grab a Nick Fury and guess who was not present one bit? Yep, Black Panther. WTF?! They have at least 10 cases worth of figures in that pile, but NO Black Panther?! ARGH!!!!

Nick Fury is cool, but not great. I don't like the gun that is molded into the holster on his body and his neck joing and ab crunch are really loose, so if you touch him, his head starts looking upward while he bends his body over forward.

Speaking of comics, anybody got any recommendations for somebody who's been out of the loop in regards to recent comics?

The new Juggs figure is definitely out of proportion, but so are the Toy Biz Juggs and Select Juggs figures. The MS Cain's arms from top of deltoid to knuckle are as long if not longer than his legs and the TB version might even be worse. IMO that's all by design because the Juggernaut, along with many other comic-book behemoths, isn't drawn to strict human proportion rubrics. When drawing the human figure in a realistic manner, you're encouraged to use the 'eight heads rule.' Many comic characters along with their iconic looks don't follow this rule. I'm willing to give this Juggs a pass just as I did the Juggs figs before this one. Mostly due to the fact that, outside of JRJR (initially -eventually he also drew a wonky Juggs) and Alan Davis (top of my head - I'm sure there were a couple of others), artists have traditionally drawn him as looking this way. Comic fans have been so weaned on this that X-3's Juggernaut was largely panned and calls for an entirely CGI'ed Marko were common. Movie Juggernaut was dubbed as a 'miss' because he was way too 'humanly' proportioned. My olny gripe with this fig is that he's too large period.

@ BM's post....

you know...once upon a time i decided that I wanted to collect Juggernaut figures...all of them(Like I do Firestorm) because I really like the character. BUT..when i started researching the releases...i realized....i really didn't like A LOT of the figures that had come out. I really didn't like the arm length of that toybiz one...and just certain things on others. I decided to just stick with whatever Juggy figs I already owned.

Yeah, the figure fits fine with how he has often been drawn over the years. Everyone ends up having there preferred version of the art but it's funny when people complain a figure doesn't look right when really it just doesn't match the version they want.

Is Trade Smart related to Hastings??? I see the same comic boxes and life size Batman at my local Hastings and my Hastings just got in 5 cases of the Cap Civil War Legends and all the Panther and Fury were there, 5 of each.

Not only was this done behind Wasp's back but then when Kang unsurprisingly doesn't return their child to them Alex eventually brushes their daughter off as never being real or meant to happen so there's no reason to be upset about it.
